""A Letter to Sir William Pulteney: Containing Some Observations on the Bill for the Better Support and Maintenance of the Poor"" is a book written by Isaac Wood in 1797. The book is a letter addressed to Sir William Pulteney, a British politician who was involved in the drafting of a bill aimed at improving the support and maintenance of the poor in England. In the letter, Wood provides his observations and concerns regarding the proposed bill, which he believes would not effectively address the issue of poverty in the country. Wood argues that the bill would only provide temporary relief to the poor, rather than addressing the root causes of poverty.

Wood proposes alternative solutions to the problem of poverty, such as the creation of employment opportunities and the implementation of a fairer taxation system. Overall, ""A Letter to Sir William Pulteney"" is a critical analysis of a proposed bill aimed at improving the lives of the poor in England, and offers alternative solutions to the issue of poverty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
